I went for a haircut today. My usual barbershop has closed down, the owner retired, and the guy who did me went to another shop, that was closed today. So I went to a new place. I only asked for the usual, #4 buzz cut on the head and #3 on beard, but nobody else was in the place, and they ended doing everything they have: buzz cut, razor around the edges, hot towels, neck massage. Almost an hour in the chair.

Felt a little hustled, but it was not that much, and I did not say no to anything. I think it was a promo by the shop owner, they want me to come back. I will be in front of a lot of people next week, so does not hurt to look as good as possible, and I did enjoy it. Probably won’t do it all the time, though.

    My barber is a very old vet named Gary, who converted an old stage coach stable into the barbershop. He’s always got an old western or war movie on. The walls are plastered with pictures dating back to WW2. It always smells of cigarette smoke, and his haircuts honestly aren’t great. But I still go cause I love the atmosphere and story (smoke not so much)
